I know exactly what you mean. I am 22 (will be 23 in 1 month) and I don't have children yet, but I have always thought that I wanted LOTS of children. Hubby and I are waiting until are careers are stable enough to have children (which will be probably 5 years), but I am worried that by that time rolls around I won't want children anymore. I mean, this world is not getting to be an any better place to live. Do I really want my children growing up in a world full of hate and vulgarity?

You need to make a decision that works for you and your husband. You're still young and may change your mind later, but if neither of you want kids now, why WOULD you? Don't worry about others opinions (including mine) because that's all they are.

DH and I came to this decision several years ago, and are now married 20 years without kiddos. Our reasons made sense to us, and eventually, people do stop pestering! We've managed to make friends with several couples who, for whatever reason, also don't have children. It IS a choice. Now, if only I could talk him into another yorkie

Good luck to you whatever you decide to do!
